I'm having a major issue with my drivers. Specifically, the 'Bluetooth device personal area network,' 'Microsoft WiFi direct virtual adaptor #2 and #3,' as well as several 'WAN miniport' drivers are all failing and showing error code 45 in properties. I've attempted updating them multiple times and everything I can think of, but nothing seems to work. I'm really worried about losing my PC—can anyone offer some solutions?

I totally get your frustration. Sometimes, hardware issues can also arise from operating system problems—consider running any system updates or diagnostics that your OS may offer. It might help resolve the driver issues!
It sounds like an annoying predicament! Have you checked if the Bluetooth device might simply need more attention? Usually resetting the device or ensuring it's properly connected can solve these kinds of problems.
If all your drivers are showing problems, that sounds frustrating! Have you tried uninstalling them from Device Manager? After that, use the refresh button to allow Windows to detect them again. If you're connected via Ethernet, that might help too since you could then download the needed drivers directly from the manufacturer.
I did uninstall the WiFi direct virtual adaptor #2, but it didn't come back when I detected hardware again.
I've tried resetting and it didn't work. I'm really at a loss here.
